My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room had some issues like an uneven floor and a gap in the door, yet it was a good size with a much-appreciated kettle for making tea. The service was excellent with helpful staff, and the location was convenient for exploring the old town of Edinburgh. The dining experience had its shortcomings, but the inclusion of cooked items was a plus. Overall, the hotel offers a decent stay with room for improvement in certain areas.

I found this guest house to be ideally located, not far from the city center which was convenient for exploring various attractions. The room was not as clean as expected, with visible dust and bits on the floor upon arrival. The hilly terrain around the property meant a lot of walking, but there was parking available as promised.
Rooms

The room, despite being advertised as a garden view, overlooked the city center and was not impeccably clean upon arrival, needing some vacuuming. The location placed me about 20 minutes away from the town center, castle, and Grassmarket which required some walking due to the hilly surroundings.

The location was excellent, only a short walk from Princes Street and Grassmarket. Although the area was lovely, the hilly terrain and no nearby public transport made reaching certain places on foot a necessity.

The dining options were satisfactory with delicious Scottish and continental breakfast choices, but the timing was a bit early. The proximity to Princess Street was a bonus despite the basic offerings.
